🇷🇺 Russia slaps Arab leaders!

When Arab ambassadors told Lavrov to “stop Iran,” he replied:

“Have you condemned what the United States and Israel did? For example, have you condemned the death of 170 schoolgirls?”

🎥 Professor Rashid Khalidi on the dangers of “purity politics” and why meaningful political change requires broad coalitions, strategic alliances, and building power beyond politics as “self-satisfaction.”

Khalidi says that if the goal is to stop arms sales, advance divestment, and shift policy, movements cannot remain trapped in a “tiny, ineffective minority.”

There is a name for boarding a ship and abducting innocent civilians in international waters, @BBCWorld. Its not called 'interception'. The word is piracy.

Israel did this

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

GAZA. The so called peace plan is allowing Israel to "finish the job": 450 killed; 2,500 structures destroyed; lifesaving aid blocked.
The human rights movement will not allow those responsible to run away from justice. It is not matter of if. It's matter of when.

تحياتي أيها الأصدقاء. أنا #يانيس_فاروفاكيس، اسمحوا لي أن آخذ من وقتكم ما يكفي لمتزيق هذه الدعوة أمامكم، دعوة مشاركتي في «أسبوع أديلايد للكتاب» للعام 2026 حيث كان يفترض أن قدم كتابي الجديد «أرتق بروحك» (أو نهضة الروح). كنت أتطلع بشوق للعودة إلى أديلايد لحضور هذا المهرجان الرائع الذي لطالما كان ملتقى للكتب والأفكار والنقاشات على مدى عقود. لكن الأمر لم يعد كذلك. لقد دمره اللوبي الصهيوني.
أُجبِر مجلس الإدارة على إلغاء الدعوة الموجّهة إلى الكاتبة #رندا_عبد_الفتاح. بل إن بوب كار، رئيس وزراء السابق في ولاية نيو ساوث ويلز، ووزير خارجية أستراليا الأسبق، بات مصنّفاً كشخص «مثير للقلق». كما أجبرت مديرة «أسبوع أديلايد للكتاب»، صديقتي اليهودية الرائعة لويز أدلر، على الاستقالة.
لم يتركوا لي خياراً سوى تمزيق دعوتي التي كنت أتطلع إليها، على الملأ. وكما تقول لويز، أيها الأصدقاء والزملاء في عالم الفنون، احذروا المستقبل. إنه سيأتي إليكم.

[Agnes Callamard @AgnesCallamard]

The UN reaches similar conclusions to those of @Amnesty, @hrw, many Palestinian and Israeli human rights organisations: Israel is perpetrating the crime against humanity of APARTHEID. More evidence of systemic and decades-long serious violations of international law. What will Israel's supporters do?

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

“Gaza has become a mass grave for Palestinians and those helping them.”

Angelina Jolie delivered a stark indictment of the world’s response to Gaza, exposing the brutal reality of selective human rights.

Jolie said she once believed international institutions, including the United Nations, were built on clear moral lines and universal principles, but watching Gaza shattered that belief.

She criticized a global system where rights, aid, justice, and accountability are applied unequally: food and protection for some, starvation and impunity for others; justice for certain crimes, silence for others when political or business interests are involved.

Today, I joined 500+ researchers from 70 countries in calling on world leaders to create an International Panel on Inequality modelled after the IPCC— as recommended by the G20 Committee on Inequality led by @JosephEStiglitz. Help us spread the call.

Great to finally hear honesty about Gaza on the BBC. Thank you @ZackPolanski

❗️BREAKING❗️Rescuers killed in line of duty.
Scenes like this unfold every moment in Gaza, often unseen, largely undocumented. I beg STATES: how much more must be witnessed before you act to stop this carnage?
🔴Break the blockade
🔴Impose an Arms Embargo
🔴Impose Sanctions.

[Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1]

The Israeli army committed another massacre against Palestinian journalists this morning killing 4 more journalists and injuring many others.
Al Jazeera photographer Muhamad Salameh, Palestine tv photographer Husam Al Masri and the freelance journalist Reem Abu Daqqa were all bombarded to death by the Israeli army bringing the number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israel to 244.
Israel is trying to silence any reporting of its war crimes in Gaza.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

On 26th July 2025, delegates from over 25 countries convened in London for the inaugural conference of the Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP). This new transnational initiative seeks to transform rising global solidarity for Palestine into coordinated political action. As a member of the steering committee, I was asked to explain why we need this Alliance. https://t.co/viUOOCw3V8 Here was my message to participants.

Greetings from me, Yanis Varoufakis, to all of you who have gathered so that we work, together, toward a Global Alliance for Palestine.

We need a Global Alliance for Palestine because the West, its governments and big business, constitute a Global Alliance in Support of the Genocide of Palestinians.

But let me be a little more precise.

-The West says it wants a Two State Solution
-Netanyahu’s life project, like that of the vast majority of political actors in Israel, is to use intense violence to make the Two State Solution impossible
-Hamas responds with its own violence
-Israel reacts by calculatingly raising its violence to the Nth power
-The West then ritualistically condemns Hamas & backs Netanyahu
-Inevitably, the West’s claim to want a Two State Solution withers into a tacit support of Israel’s genocide
-Thus Israel secures the backing of a Global Alliance in Support of the Genocide of Palestinians.

Isn’t it time that we, people who oppose genocide, who mean it when we say NEVER AGAIN – isn’t it time that we formed a Global Alliance for Palestine?

I believe it is! Let’s do it then.
